Played this originally on Windows Phone and thought it was kind of fun, so I downloaded the Windows 8 version. While the core gameplay is roughly the same, I'm assuming this was made for a touchscreen experience. I say this because I'm being forced to play with just the mouse (the WORST controller for this game) making required finesse shots in Challenge mode next to impossible. There are no options to allow for different control schemes, puck speeds, or any configurations of any type aside from the Pro Shop skins. On top of that, there are no forums or help pages - not even a basic manual is provided for new players.
If you're just playing for fun, or don't care about fully completing the Challenge mode, then you might be ok with just a mouse. Outside of that, the learning curve for using the mouse controls is so steep that I would argue most people would find this title unplayable and frustrating. Even for a free game, that's disappointing to say the least.

When are you going to update all the MS games with 4K support? How many years does it take?

The puck does random jerks to the side and spins back at me. Fix it.

I love the game on my tablet. But it's horrible on pc. On pc when I open the app it shows a red screen, then closes automatically. Until it is fixed 1 star. :(

You should probably skip this one if you don't have something with a touchscreen. Using a mouse or a trackpad, it's almost impossible to release the puck when shoving it down the lane. The puck simply gets YOINKED back to start. It's exasperating.
